About This SeafoodDish

Savour the delicate and luxurious flavors of Pan-Fried Abalone, a simple yet elegant dish that highlights the tender texture and natural sweetness of this prized seafood. Lightly seasoned and quickly pan-fried to golden perfection, each bite offers a satisfying contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft, succulent interior. Perfect as a gourmet starter or a refined main course, this dish allows the abalone's pure taste to shine while adding a touch of indulgence to any meal.

Ingredients

  1. 4 live abalone (about 150g each)
  2. 1 cup of flour
  3. 1/2 tsp salt
  4. 1/2 tsp pepper
  5. 2 tbsp butter
  6. 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)

Method

  1. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to remove the abalone from its shell. Cut off and discard the dark sac of viscera, as well as the rubbery lip around the edge. Scrub the remaining abalone clean or cut off any black stuff around the edges.
  2. Thinly slice the cleaned abalone. Pound the slices to tenderize them by gently tapping each slice with a meat tenderizer or the back of a large metal spoon until they become limp.
  3. In a large shallow bowl or wide plate, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the abalone slices in the flour mixture, shake off any excess flour, and lay the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or platter. Alternatively, you can place the flour mixture in a resealable plastic bag, add the abalone slices, and shake to coat.
  4. n a large frying pan or sauté pan, melt the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and stopped foaming, add a single layer of floured abalone slices to the pan and cook until golden, about 2–3 minutes per side. Repeat for any remaining slices.
  5. Serve hot & enjoy!

Chef's Tip

Abalone cooks incredibly fast once sliced thin, so timing is everything. A quick pan-fry over medium-high heat creates that beautiful golden crust while keeping the centre tender and buttery. Overcook it by even a minute and the texture can turn firm, so have your pan hot and your serving plates ready before the abalone hits the heat.
